how can you tell how much RAM the mobo is capable of?

This is how to research. You have to go to Dell, find the model, get the details of what Mobo is used, find the Mobo manufacturers website, read the specs for the motherboard. Which told me that it only supports 4GB of ram in 2 slots

No worries Michael, it can happen when you have replies on two pages

Check post #16 I edited it with the crucial data... sorry but it slipped my mind that I needed it. Anyways I was told it was ok to post the 3 computers. As to why I posted 2 replies (16 and 17) is because they were for 2 different computers and 2 seperate questions. My computer... the first one listed in post 13 is done ignore it. And post 16 I even said was my brothers computer (computer #2).

Thank you Mykl for informing me on how to find out how much RAM a mobo supports.

I know you stated 8GB will be all that gamers really needed. I will stay with the 8GB but is there a faster speed RAM, if such a thing exists, that I can put in here that will improve performance/speed? Not that my speed is slow now, it's just more for curiosity's sake.

Your MB can run Ram at speeds up to 2800MHz in certain circumstances such as overclocking etc, check out the MBs QVL (qualified vendors list) for memory upgrade options http://www.asrock.co...4-M/?cat=Memory
